    I blame Gundam Wing and its nonsense end of history lib politics for the "Gundam = War is bad" reading that the western fandom has. That, and a lack of understanding of what imperialism is, but it's easier to blame Toonami, isn't it?

      idk, i think wing seems far from the worst offender. at least it seems relatively pro anti-imperialist violence. i've only seen like 2 episodes though

        Wing starts good, but turns into a muddled mess halfway. Some cool aesthetics and ideas (what if we made a bunch of pretty robot pilot boys and put them in a school like a shojo anime), though.

        It's worth watching for Endless Waltz, or at least that's what I tell myself.

          the show ran into serious production issues and the director changed midway through. Modern anime production under capitalism

          Endless Waltz is sick.

      All I got out of Gundam Wing was that accelerationism is dumb.

      I think that was mostly in Endless Waltz though. I dunno, it was half a lifetime ago.
